Despite being a much better team than at the end of the Lucia era, the Gophers have not been good against MN teams under Motzko and those that trash-talk "4th best team in MN" still have some supporting data. It needs to be better, and this roster vs. the somewhat depleted Mankato roster should really have potential for a sweep. No excuses. Get it done.
Tickets sales don't look great for Friday, but I'm very excited to also head down to Mankato on Saturday for what should be a sold out arena. It may be the only way to watch the game as no TV has been announced for the second game.
